For over a decade, Grand Theft Auto Online players have largely had a free hand to explore Los Santos. Not all of the locations from Grand Theft Auto 5 have been readily available, but Rockstar Games has revealed plans to reopen a fan-requested area as part of an upcoming zombie mode.
Rockstar made the announcement in this week's patch notes that North Yankton will be featured in "a Community Challenge to dispatch marching tides of undead in a new limited-time mode." This snowy location was featured in GTA 5's prologue as two of the main characters, Michael and Trevor, ran into some serious problems during their attempt to rob a bank and get away clean. GTA Online players have previously only been able to get back there by using glitches and exploits.
While Rockstar hasn't yet shared the full details about GTA Online's zombie mode, GamesRadar notes that data miners have "found evidence of a wave-based survival mode," which suggests that it will be a horde-style event. However, there's no word about whether the zombie action will be limited to North Yankton or if it will spill out into the larger areas of San Andreas and Los Santos. Additionally, Rockstar has announced a number of Halloween-related items for GTA+ members, including the fearsome-looking HVY Nightshark SUV and demon biker gear.
With Grand Theft Auto 6 on the horizon for a 2025 release, it seems likely that GTA Online as we know it may be due for a significant overhaul in the future. But Rockstar has successfully kept the world of this game fresh for a long time, and players aren't ready to let go of it just yet.
